The speech by Mr. Khatami, a leading reformist, came a day after his ally, the losing presidential candidate Mir Hussein Moussavi, called on supporters to deepen their protest movement, in his first major statement in weeks.

Together, the two statements, posted on the Internet by opposition Web sites, made clear that opposition leaders — much like their hard-line foes — are girding supporters for a long-term battle to be waged as much through ideas and quiet social organizing as through the public protests that followed Iran’s disputed presidential election on June 12.

Ahamadinejad gave the best weapon to israel to beat iran with. Don't forget, before the wipe out comment, israel was always harrassing iran and was looking for an excuse. Well, the idiot gave it to them free of charge. Of course, he has other intentions. He is not that stupid! he is just idiot!

DK, you know better. why would he come out 3 years ago and speak against it? You think, he could? of course, he couldn't and wouldn't and shouldn't have. 3 years ago, was none of these demonstration, no green movement, no uprisings and killings and so on. 3 years ago he would be put in jail too. he might still!

Oh Yeah ?

The Holocaust Conference took place in December 2006:

//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/6167695.stm

Khatami's Recent Outrage Came ONLY in Prospect of the Presidential 2009 Campaign And As YOU FAILED TO SEE: Your Article dates from February 2009 

The Clerics including my favorite Karoubi in Particular ALL Showed Outrage ONLY 3 Years After the Conference Took Place.

How Convenient !

I Call That OPPORTUNISM NOT SINCERITY  !

Best,

DK

HOLOCAUST A MYTH: Michelle Renouf on Iranian SAHAR TV

Politics make Strange Bed Fellows and I am afraid you like most Reformists were silent endorsers of Mr. Ahmadinejad when he was calling to wipe Israel off the map.

Now Mr. Ahmadinejad is Your Black Sheep ever since You Are Targeted ? How Timely.

Congrats Anyhow For finally Seeing the Light !
